By now you've heard that Pennsylvania's Liquor Control Board has approved a rate hike at all state wine and spirit shops for the first time in 18 months. The price increase will be rolled out over February and March.

In all, there will be price increases on 313 wine and liquor products in Pennsylvania. It is believed that there will only be a slight price increase on the most common brands of wine and liquor.

Naturally, you're wondering if the price of your favorite wines will be affected.

If you really want to do some digging, CBS Philly has posted the complete list here. You'll see, for example that a bottle of Sutter Home's white zinfandel will jump from $9.99 to $11.99. For you wine locovores, a bottle of Clover Hill cab sauv goes from $16.99 to $17.49.

Keep in mind that not all brands are increasing. So refer to the list and do your homework.
